Mr. Voronin: Good afternoon, Mr. Smith. I’m sorry I’ve kept you waiting.

Mr. Smith: That’s all right. Though I have been wondering what’s happened to you.

Mr. Voronin: A friend from Moscow is over here on a short visit. He’s been attending a conference here and today I’ve been showing him round.

Mr. Smith: Oh, have you? Where have you taken him?

Mr. Voronin: We’ve been walking round the City and he insisted on climbing to the top of the Monument.

Mr. Smith: Oh, you’ll be stiff tomorrow. There are over three hundred steps, aren’t there?

Mr. Voronin: Well, there are three hundred and forty-five, to be more exact. But still, there’s a marvelous view when you get to the top.

Mr. Smith: Oh, yes, it is wonderful. On a clear day you can see for miles.

Mr. Voronin: We also popped into the Moscow Narodny Bank for just a few minutes.

Mr. Smith: Oh, it’s that fine new building just opposite the Monument? I haven’t been inside yet.

Mr. Voronin: Would you like me to take you there one of these days?

Mr Smith: That’s very kind of you. Thank you. And now you’ve earned a good rest after all that sightseeing.

Mr. Voronin: I certainly have. I’ve been walking round for over three hours.

 

Note:

The Monument – «Монумент», колонна, воздвигнутая в лондонском Сити в 1671 – 1677 гг. в память о Великом лондонском пожаре (Great Fire). Считается, что её высота (61,5 м) равна расстоянию от «Монумента» до лавки пекаря на Пуддинг-Лейн (Pudding Lane), где начался пожар. Наверху имеется смотровая площадка, на которую ведет винтовая лестница.
